I would just like to tell you all that having recently (one year and one day) joined a company which was currently on a 'amber' status from their previous TFMS / PIU audit we achieved blue on our recent audit. Has anyone else here managed that?

Well done!
I must admit I would never ever work again for a manufacturer that supplied own label for Tesco! or any other retailer for that matter!
For starters, they don't practice what they preach! have you seen the people behind the Deli counters? No Jewellry? No chance!!
Secondly, if my "A" at BRC isn't good enough, then why do i put myself through the BRC audit each year??
Still it doesn't detract from you having done a good job! Well done........now tell us your secret!

Well done - getting blues is quite an achievement.
I've got an audit for Tesco coming up soon - never had one before - so if you want to give me any advice I would be most grateful. They do say "every little helps"!

My advice would be not to have a production run on that day!!! Archive all your documents and go off to blackpool on a jolly!
If your auditor was anything like the one(s) i had then they'll know far more about your process than you do anyway! even those straight out of Uni!!
You can't win. I've had two auditors from Tesco give me conflicting information in the same audit! which one do you believe??? frankly i didn't believe either of them!
I take it you have a copy of their Manufacturing Code? It's in the document exchange here. I'm not sure if it's been updated, i don't think it has, but if it has, and you have a copy, if you'd share it with us, we'd love you forever!
let us know how you go on

I don't have a copy of the standard because the company has engaged the services of a food safety consultant, who does have a copy of the standard and who tells my boss what I need to do. I will try to get a copy of the standard from our consultant but don't hold your breath!!

Hi Everyone
I have a copy of the latest Tesco standard and (hopefully) I've attached it for you although a revision is due at the end of the month (I will post that as soon as I get it)
Kind regards

Dear Paul,
This feature sounds like a possible contender for the fastest 1st NC in Tesco audit history !![]()

Hi Paul
If you are a Tesco supplier or potential supplier do you not have a user ID and password to get on to the Tesco Technical Library or is that more information that your consultant is keeping to himself?!
Kind regards
Minnie

Thank you Minnie - I didn't even know there was a Tesco Technical Library to be honest. I keep getting this feeling that our consultant is treating me a bit like a mushroom! Never mind, I will register now.
Thank you very much - if you were right next to me I would kiss you!

Can anyone tell me what the TFMS & PIU acronyms mean?
Posted 03 August 2009 - 10:20 AM
He He. Well if the title of the standard is this difficult to clarify I don't hold out much hope for the rest of it.I think PIU is Process Inspection Unannounced
But i may be wrong.

Thanks Minnie.I think that PIU means Product Integrity Unit - according to my Tesco documentation anyway!
